Autonomy, Power, and Decision-Making in Thirty-Six Retirement Communities.
Streib, Gordon F.; And Others
Gerontologist, v25 n4 p403-09 Aug 1985
Examined how autonomy and decision-making manifest themselves in 36 retirement communities in Arizona, California, Florida, and New Jersey. Results indicated that most residents let others make decisions. Autonomy was basically latent, with residents wanting the possibility of decision-making when crisis arises or community stability is threatened. (Author/NRB)
